Homage to a Lost Friend
I just wanted to pay homage to a high school classmate of mine who died tragically two weeks ago. My favorite memory of Lynjereia is that she taught me to twirl batons so I could try out for the majorette team. Our prayers are with her family, especially her little daughters. Always in our hearts and memories. View her obituary below.
